LOAD Day 8 - Bedtime Adventures...

Arrrrgh! Here be Pirates!

Our layout challenge for today, from Lain, was to use Pirate 'something'on our layout. Pirate themed supplies, pirate behavior, pirate song lyrics,pirate booty, pirate ships, etc... As I read the challenge, the first thingI thought of was the book we read nearly every night. "How I Became aPirate" by Melinda Long and David Shannon. It is a very funny tale ofJeremy Jacobs' adventure with Braid Beard and his crew. Every timeBB makes a declaration, his crew repeats it. "Pirates don't tuck!"... "Notucking!!", for example. This story has led to many a repeatedphrase followed by "Arrrrgh!!!" around our house.

It isn't saved for bedtime either. We throw lines back andforth constantly. It has made our house sound like a pirateship a couple of times! It is fun and makes us laugh andgiggle as we, once again, shout "up yonder pole!" together.
